Yes you need to disinfect all the surfaces and things inside the room.. you may use dettol, that's perfectly fine.. but everything needs to be cleaned properly

sorry i for got to mention about Ascard tablet .. dr prescribed her along with other tablets ... ... she is already a BP patient and was taking Tenormin 50mg and Rovista 10 mg on daily basis ..
My question is that k ascard ,deltracortal,azomax kab tak leni hai ... ?
You can stop azomax and reduce the dose of deltacortil. Take deltacortil 2 tabs twice a day for 2 days and then 1 tablet twice a day for 2 days and then 1 tablet once a day for 2 days and then stop it.
She can continue taking aspirin for a month.

If she is fine now... Then no need for any test.... According to latest American guidelines we do not need any test if we get better after 14 days.... All old guidelines say that we should do test.... So no need for any test.

if she was on deltacortil for more than 7 days, it needs to be gradually reduced. deltacortil should not be stopped at once if patient has taken it for longer than 7 days.

Continue her BP Medication as already prescribed. Reduce Deltacorti Gradually. Get a Covid Antibody Test. Add Multivitamins and Calcium VitD Supplements too. 14 to 21 Days should be symptoms free. No need to get a PCR Done.
You can Consult Online too for any Health Related Queries and Guidance when Needed.
